Latonya Fighting For Her Life
Latonya Pottain has been active on social media amid her weight loss journey. However, it seems she’s still struggling behind cameras. Last month, the My 600-Lb Life star uploaded a clip of herself lifting dumbbells while lying on the bed. She was with her sister, who also appeared to be struggling with her weight. According to Latonya, she’s been at the hospital for a month, but she’s thankful for her family for their continuous support, saying, “Thank GOD for my bro And sis I love yall and appreciate yall for the love and support.”
The clip clearly shows that Latonya is back into being bedridden again, and it seems she has barely lost any weight since parting ways with Dr. Now, which could put her in a critical state. Regardless, many fans motivated Latonya to keep working toward her goals.
“Everyone starts somewhere ! Keep going !”
“YES GIRL!!!! KEEP GOING!!! ❤️”
“You got this keep going.”
“You got this!!!! You are capable! ❤️”
“I’m cheering for you.. You can do it 💯”
